Detained Miss Gloria Okolie

Glory Okolie, a 21-year-old young woman arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team (IRT) from Imo State has filed a case against the Nigerian Government at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja over her unlawful detention.

The police had arrested Okolie for allegedly being friends with a suspected member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). She was later transferred to Abuja, despite efforts by her family members to secure his release.

After more than 100 days in detention, the police, in one bogus statement in July 2021, said she was arrested for alleged membership of IPOB and for working with one Benjamin Uzoma Emojiri to attack officers and stations in Imo.

Her detention stirred public outcry as many Nigerians, including civil society organisations, called for her release. In the suit filed on August 24, Okolie asked the court to mandate the Nigerian government to pay the sum of N100 billion as “general and punitive” damages for “infringing” on her fundamental human rights. Alongside other reliefs, which include and are below:
